Keywords: beech plantings, reforestation, slop, undergrowth, forest conditions, natural renewable.

Annotation:  With the purpose to study the reforestation of the Greater Caucasus beech forests’ meadow and the glades were separated 5 plots in the forestry of Guba and Shabran. In every plot were laid three transects in size 10x10m. The sources of natural reforestation were the hornbeam-beech, oak-hornbeam-beech and the oak-maple-beech stands.  As a  result  of  the  investigations  was  found that  the  more  successfully  renewed  the  fresh  growth  sites  of the  meadow  and of  the  glades  from  motley grass beech  in  distance  to  10…30 m  from  the  forest  wall.  In  these  distances  more  weaker  renewed  the  dry  and  the  interjacent  types  from  the  fresh  to the  dry  growth  sites  from  the  ferny  beech.  The  bad  reforestation  was  revealed  in  wet  meadow   growth  sites  and  in  the  glade  from  the  ferny  beech.
